This is a moist and delicious low fat banana bread recipe.

Personally, I would use full fat butter in this recipe, but I include the low fat version here because I know many of you want the true low fat recipe.

Enjoy the healthier eating.

Prep time: 5 minutes

Cook time: 55 minutes

Ingredients:
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup light butter or light margarine, softened
1 2/3 cups very ripe bananas, mashed (about 3 bananas)
1/2 cup skim or 1% milk
1/2 cup low fat sour cream
2 large egg whites
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)
no fat cooking spray

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Combine the sugar and butter and beat well. Add the mashed bananas and beat well. Mix the dry ingredients together and add to the banana mixture. Add the walnuts and mix it all together well. Spray a loaf pan with the no fat cooking spray and pour the batter into the prepared pan.

Bake at 350°F for 55 minutes. The banana loaf may need a few extra minutes so check it by inserting a toothpick in it before removing it from the oven.

This low fat banana bread recipe makes one loaf.

• If you are a beginner baker, here's a simple tip that will prove valuable during your baking "career". To test a cake or quick bread batter like this one to make sure it is fully baked, insert a toothpick or a thin metal skewer into a thick part of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is baked. If it still has batter stuck to it, let the cake bake for a few more minutes and test it again. It is a sure fire way to make sure the cake is fully baked.
